Oh that picture i had to cut off into one so thats multiple views and its from a vid so yeah. Also it was Onion powder, and Lew don't be abruptive dude i was just showing my experiments for chemicals.

The thing about this are
1) it dosn't create alot of smoke.
2) it only uses two chemicals.
3) it was a pain to grinde but it works and my test succeded.

Thnx Neo I used KNo3 and onion powder it does actualy smell of onion and i like to do these tests to find new alternatives and it burns with a bright light.

Note grinding Onion skin is realy tricky so use a ball mill lol. Also ones the two powders are mixed you should get a orange looking fine powder this is greate then burn it up.

i like eating dried onions, the stuff you get on cheese and onion crisps is the same, the dried onions taste sweet, and not like normal onions!
